Manchester City kept the pressure on unbeaten Manchester United with a 2-0 victory over Everton while Fernando Torres scored before being sent off in third-place Chelsea's 4-1 thrashing of Swansea in the Premier League on Saturday.City required second-half goals by substitutes Mario Balotelli and James Milner to beat Everton 2-0, meaning United had to avoid defeat at Stoke later Saturday to stay top.
Torres set Chelsea on its way to victory with the opener in the 29th but was given a straight red card for a reckless lunge on Mark Gower in the 39th, three minutes after Ramires made it 2-0.
Fourth-place Newcastle defeated Blackburn 3-1 while struggling Arsenal eased past Bolton 3-0 to lift the pressure off under-fire manager Arsene Wenger.
